Oblivion

[1000101]

In my opinion, releasing a game that crashes, where it's a known problem. Is a bad @£$£ move.
Raising the minimum system requirements after the game has been released is just damn evil.

All boils down to bethesda actually hating players.. much like sony online..

Yes, the known crashing and bugs should have been fixed before a full release. I've asked people to test something which is buggy and told them, "it crashes under these conditions, I know about this, I'm working on this, but please test it to see where else it may crash." But that is in pre-alpha closed releases. That is what that stage is for. It seems Bethesda only does an in-house alpha test then ships when the bugs/hour rate drops to 1 or lower. "Everyone crashes at the same point except this one specific setup of computer? Good enough! SHIP!"

Raising the specs after release sounds like a market grab to me. There is no way you'd know something like that and not know it months earlier. "Shit. Turns out we need a better system...we'll if we tell people, sales will drop."

As to hating players, I'm not sure if it's player hostility or simply apathy.

In any event it all boils down to Bethesda cranking out a product which is buggy, lieing to sell more copies then ignoring people who have legitimate problems. Sounds like a small little Redmond company we all hate.
